Of the 13 newly named board members, Dr. Montgomery Rice is the only current medical
school president selected to serve in this capacity. A renowned infertility specialist
and researcher, and chief administrator of a nationally recognized academic medical
center, Montgomery Rice will provide valuable input as this new school is formed.

“I am honored to be named a board member for the new Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine,”
said Montgomery Rice. “Much like Morehouse School of Medicine, this new school will
be dedicated to playing a vital role in changing the landscape of healthcare and preparing
future doctors to serve where they are needed most.”

“Having national leaders from health care and medical education, as well as highly
successful entrepreneurial leaders — joining leaders from Kaiser Permanente’s Health
Plan, Hospitals and Permanente Medical Groups on our medical school board — will be
invaluable as we launch this new approach to medical education,” said Bernard J. Tyson,
chairman and CEO, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., and Hospitals, in the official release.
